Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Torch song, hallway brass
The rain moved us inside
We played it louder anyway
Written for a wedding moved indoors
[Chorus]
On celebrating where you are
Not where you planned to be
New Orleans brass in the hallway
And the rain outside the door
[Verse 2]
The brass section played from the hallway
The ceremony was moved inside
Rain on the windows of the venue
And we played with city pride
[Chorus]
On celebrating where you are
Not where you planned to be
New Orleans brass in the hallway
And the rain outside the door
[Bridge]
The vocal recorded standing up
To match the brass energy
Hallway brass and torch song
For a wedding changed by the weather
[Chorus]
On celebrating where you are
Not where you planned to be
New Orleans brass in the hallway
And the rain outside the door
[Outro]
Torch song
Hallway brass
